SLASHING RATES.
Railroads Having Some Fun Over
the Constitutional CeIebra-


CHICAGO, Sept. ia local paper as
serts that the trouble over rates to the
constitutional celebration at Philadel-
phia is rapidly leading up to a bitter
passenger war. The authorized rate
made by the Central Traffic association
was s24 for the round trip for parties of
less than twenty-five. The Pennsylva-
mia line tickets were made iron-clad,
and scalpers quickly gobbled them up
and by their use cut the New York rate
about s.. The Baltimore & Ohio, Lake
Shore and Michigan Central decided
to put on the same kind of tickets.
Yesterday it was learned that several
st. Louis lines had decided to put on
sale similar tickets from st. Louis to
New York and return for 5000, which
is on the basis of the cheap Philadel-
phia rate. Yesterday the Grand Trunk
announced that it would sell Philadel-
phia tickets at S16.45 to any one, re-
gardless of the number in the party,
and also tickets to New York and return
for S2S, which is on the basis of the rate
made by the st. Louis lines. Last
evening the Niagara Falls short line
announced that, owing to violations of
agreement by its competitors, it had de-
cided to reduce the regular rate to New
York to SIS. 1t is thought that this is
the beginning of rate war, which,
although it may be brief, will be severe.

Inundated Arizona.

Tucson, Ariz., Set. 10.-The storms
of Thursday and Friday were the most
severe ever known in this section. Five
miles of the Southern Pacific track be-
tween this point and Benson was
washed away. Two large bridges over
the Cenago and Rillita rivers were de-
stroyed. Telegraph wires are down
and in some places are imbedded ten
feet in the sand. Steel rails are carried
a quarter of mile down the river and
are scattered for miles down the stream.
Southern Pacific trains are being run
over the Atlantic & Pacific road. Wash
outs are also reported all along the line
from Tucson to Yuma. From parties in
from San Pedro and Rillita rivers it is
learned that the flood is the worst ever
known in Arizona and many old land
marks have been washed away and
fields of grain swept over. The South
ern Pacific officials say that travel over
the road cannot be resumed for week.

Agreeing on the Tariff.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ia writer in
to-day's Washington Herald, comment
ing upon the Oak View conferences of
last week, says: "There is a consensus
of opinion upon the point that the presi-
dent is formulating the financial part of
his message, and is trying to make the
section relating to the tariff and surplus
coincide with the views of Mr.Scott and
the ex-speaker from Kentucky and
Pennsylvania. A startling rumor,
which is not without believers among
those who should know something of the
executives wishes and intentions, is
that the president would be
much relieved if Mr.. Car
Isle would give up his
third time and take the position of adj
miniStration leader on the floor of the
house. Of course, it is quite impossible
to verify these rumOrs, but they are cur
rent and not without reason. Those near
him know the president realizes that
something must be attempted in the
matter of tariff reform at the coming
session, if it is to be done during his
present term. He has been anxiously
and prayerfully scanning the list of
members elect to the Fiftieth congress
to see what material for

Criminal Carelessness.

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-As Mrs. Henry
Sells, of Grasse Point, and lady COM
panion were riding in a buggy this
afternoon in funeral procession about
one mile west of that place, a shot, fired
by one of a picnic party in the woods
by the roadside, struck her in the back,
almost instantly killing her. The pro-
cession was instantly broken up, and
but for the influence of some cooler
heads the picnic party would have been
badly used. The party, six men and
four. women, who it is said came from
Chicago, were arrested and locked up at
Grasse Point. 1t is claimed that they
were the worse for liquor and that they
were shooting at mark in reckless
manner.

PoTTsvnLE, Pa, Sept. lit has
transpired to-day upon the authority of
Supt. We've. of the Philadelphia and
Reading Coal and Iron company, that at
the conference held yesterday the
miners committee asked that the $3.50

of Z per cent. in wages COM
puted upon the $3.50 basis, this
advance to continue in force only until

signed for declining to make longer

POWDERLY'S POSITION.
He Will Advocate---His
TapIr1 of OEno

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 11.-General
Master Workman Powderly, in an inter
view, said his next annual message will
advocate government ownership of tel
egraph and railroad lines and the estab-
lishment of postal savings bank.
Bills will be prepared by him to carry
these suggestions into effect and they
will be submitted to the general assem-
bly, for its approval. Should the assem-
bly, approve these measures they will be
introduced into congress and backed by
the full strength of the Knights of Labor.
He added that there was misunder-
standing about his rumored resignation
at the next general assembly of the
order to be held in Minneapolis the first
week in October. He said it probably
arose from statement which he made in
Omaha and Boston, some time ago, to
the effect that he was now serving his
last term as chief of the organization.
As he was elected for two years at Rich
mOnd he has not year to serve, but he
adds that he is ready at any time to
make way for his successor, should the
order see fit to elect one.

charges made against Gen. Van Schaick.
John Pullman and other customs in

TRIED TO STEAL HER.
An Attempt to Abduct Lady
DrummOnd's Daughter.


Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Sept. 11.-As the Coney
Island boat landed at the battery at
about $50 O'Clock last night, an en-
deavor was made to abduct little May
Drummond, the only child of the late
Lord Drummond, whose life and death
were for some time the subject of so
much public comment. Mrs. Drum
mOnd. accompanied by Mrs. Deweir, at
whose house in Brooklyn she is
stopping, together with her daugh-
ter May, spent the afternoon
at Manhattan beach, and noticed
at various times during the day that
they were being closely regarded by a
stranger, whom they first saw on the
Fulton ferry, crossing from Brooklyn.
Nothing, however, was thought of the
matter until on their return. The boat
reached the battery and the passengers
were crowdlng toward the gangplank.
The child became separated from her
mother by the crowd, and Lady Drum
mOnd, upon discovering her absence,
called the little ones name at the top of
her voice. She received reply from the
dock, which many of the passengers
had already reached. Pressing forward
she reached the child as the latter tore
her hand away from the clasp of the
mysterious stranger. who, On seeing the
mother of the girl beside him, immedi-
ately mingled with the crowd and was
lost to view. The child is eight years
of age and particularly bright. To a
World reporter, who called at the
house, Willow street, Brooklyn,
last night, she related her
adventures in a straightforward
manner. ''This is the second attempt
that has been made to steal the child"
said Lady DrummOnd. $50 little atten-
ton has been attracted to us of late that
| felt comparatively safe in permitting
her tOrun around the boat, as no one
knew who she was"
''Do you imagine the relatives in
England would adopt such measure to
obtain possession of the child?"
81 do not know what to think. They
have made propositions to legally adopt
her on condition that | renounce all
claims upon her and them, which l de-
clined to do" The Duchess of Northum-
berland, who is grand aunt to little May,
instructed Mr.. Ireland, her representa-
tive in this country, to make a PROPOSE
ton to the mother of the child week
ago, Offering to adopt the little one as
stated in Lady Drummond's interview.
Lord Drummond left will
making the child his heiress,
and appointing Piercy Ullman,
the lawyer, her guardian. Mr.. Ullman
has taken the necessary legal steps
towards obtaining for his own ward the
rights he considers due her. He holds
she is entitled to an estate in France
which alone is worth sufficient to make
her independent. y Since. Lord Drum
mond's death his widow has obtained
employment as, a cloakmaker, by which
she supports herself and. child. She
stated she did not know what steps she
would take in the matter.
